Hengchang Completes!

On Wednesday, 2nd October, Hengchang presented his Completion Seminar for his thesis titled “The Convergence Speed Improvement of Extremum Seeking Control with Practical Considerations”.

Hengchang’s work focuses on extremum-seeking control (ESC), which optimises system performance using real-time data but with non-smooth actuator nonlinearities like hysteresis and slow convergence. His thesis improves ESC algorithms by managing a generalised actuator hysteresis model, incorporating fixed-time optimisation, and developing a fast ESC design for Hammerstein-type systems without requiring time-scale separation.

Congratulations Hengchang!
